Transition Services
Clients come to QLI for rehabilitation services from all across the country because of our unrivaled expertise and commitment to getting our clients successfully back home. From the day that an individual admits to QLI’s rehabilitation program, our entire team is focused on planning and executing a successful transition home.
QLI is able to offer a wide variety of true-to-life simulation options in our functional, real-world environment, from simple social and community-based activities to full-scale, 24-hour simulation in a private apartment designed to model a client’s discharge setting.
In addition to simulating a discharge plan in our rehabilitation setting, QLI staff members regularly assist in accompanying clients home and follow-up at regular intervals to ensure the best possible transition and long-term outcome.
